The other day I went with a friend to Sephora's, one of my favorite stores. Not that I wear makeup; I just like looking at all the sparkly things around me (I'm a simple gal). Anyway, I've never really worn perfume- deoderant usually does the trick for me, and weren't perfumes orignally designed for the same purpose deoderants were designed (except that Secret wasn't available back in the century)?
But my friend told me that I just HAD to get a spring scent. Spring scent? (i said). "Why doesn't just any scent work?"
"O my God," she said with the typical roll of the eyes pple give me when I say something ignorant, "there are scents for every season. DUH."
" What kind of scent are you going for?" she asked, "Citrus, sugar, floral, or natural?"
"Um," I said. Um.
So then we spent an hour looking (or smelling) for scents. We would have spent a longer time had not a young, attractive, gay male clerk helped us out. He gave me some samples, and we narrowed it down. Sephora stores have a can of coffee beans for you to dip your nose into after you smell like a hundred perfumes and your nose gets confused as to what is what. I was all about dipping my nose. After smelling five hundred brightly packages scents, and relieving my nose with some coffee beans, I found the flavor.
Apparently, I like smelling like FOOD.
Or more specifically, DESSERT.
Haha, it figures. Anyway my friend was chatting up the clerk, asking about the latest Chanels and Gucci perfumes out this season, and I guess the clerk was so impressed by her rather extensive knnowledge on what titillates those olfactory nerves, that he gave us free samples!
Today I put some on my wrists at work and the entire day I kept surreptitiously smelling my wrist.
*sniff*
I smell like a freaking BAKERY. And I LOVE it. If I were a guy, I would totally turn myself on. Too bad Bwoy has no ability to smell me, since his nose and sinuses are getting freaky with allergies. But then again, I love to smell myself..... (*sniff*)
So here's the scent.
Hanae Mori Butterfly.
Ladies, start shopping around. With spring comes hormones, and smelling good hormones never hurt. That makes no sense at all, but having a scent for every season makes no sense either. And if you smell like candy, more power to you.
